Unlike existing analyses with lexical tone, metrical foot-based approaches to tonal accent in Franconian not only focus on an explicit analysis of the tonal contours, but are also equipped to account formally for morphological alternations and other predictable correlates. Examples are interactions of tonal accent with duration, vowel and consonant quality. The existence of such additional correlates is in line with a foot-based analysis, since it mirrors correlates of stress and foot structure found in Germanic languages and elsewhere.

为什么音调重音的韵律方法值得追求

与现有的词汇音调分析不同，法兰克语音调重音的基于格律的方法不仅专注于对音调轮廓的明确分析，而且还能够正式解释形态变化和其他可预测的相关性。例子是音调重音与持续时间、元音和辅音质量的相互作用。这种额外相关因素的存在与基于足部的分析一致，因为它反映了日耳曼语和其他语言中发现的压力和足部结构的相关性。
